No one is forcing anyone to pay anything.

This is not the government we are talking about, this is an institution providing a product/service. Your choices are plenty. Go to school somewhere else. There are thousands of options. Decide not to attend the best deal in education because they charge a little more and are still the best deal in education.

They’re paying for athletes to go out and make a name for their school. Seems like a good investment, regardless of

If you go to BYU, your tuition probably doesn't even cover the cost of paying

I tend to think it’s the BYU AD that feels this way...

They want to pay with it.... with other people's money
